Our previous independent production "Tom Atkins Blues" surpassed all expectations and continues to play to audiences. Upon its release it was greeted with a wave of great reviews in German radio, newspapers, magazines and TV. The film played for over fifty consectutive weeks in Berlin cinemas, as well as to other audiences in Germany, Spain, Rumania, Norway and England. All this was achieved without a funding body, distributor or press agency. What would have been possible with such backing?
"This is not our first barbecue."
With 25 years of experience, Martin Parry and Alex Ross head a collective of filmmakers technicians and actors working independently, supported by local companies, friends, associates and patrons of the arts. Now they move up to the next level, with a more ambitous story.
"It's about taking back the power into your own hands."
We believe in human stories that can touch people on a personal level. Somehow this is considered beyond the mainstream and commercial market. Wherever we look money is thin on the ground. So finding finance for personnal intimate stories is nigh on impossible. Subsequently we work as a small team: unpaid, empowered by the latest digital technology in the belief that these stories have a voice that connect with audiences in these turbulent times.
